I’m Monica, a Brazilian-American singer, actor, and educator. My favorite projects are musically, narratively dense works that live in the cracks of genre. I have a Master's of Music from San Francisco Conservatory and I’ve had the privilege of performing with companies all across the Bay Area, working with Word for Word, Oakland Theater Project, Lamplighters Music Theater,  Cinnabar, Berkeley Playhouse, and 42nd Street Moon. 

 

I’m committed to amplifying Latinx voices and sharing rich cultural experiences through the arts. I produced the Brazilian opera “Domitila” in 2021 and a concert titled "Saudade" in 2023.

​

I’ve had the opportunity to study abroad at the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz and was a Fulbright Semi-Finalist for the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music Award in Budapest.

​​

I enjoy working with aspiring artists and offer private voice lessons. I also teach voice at the community choir Music Education for Everyone.

 

When I’m not on stage or in the classroom, you might find me exploring the Bay Area on rollerblades, indulging in creative hobbies, or immersing myself in the world of art and literature.
